Editing Active Directory (section)

==Management tools==
Microsoft Active Directory management tools include:
*Active Directory Administrative Center (Introduced with Windows Server 2012 and above),
*Active Directory Users and Computers, 
*Active Directory Domains and Trusts, 
*Active Directory Sites and Services, 
*ADSI Edit, 
*Local Users and Groups,
*Active Directory Schema snap-ins for [[Microsoft Management Console]] (MMC),
*[[SysInternals]] ADExplorer.

These management tools may not provide enough functionality for efficient workflow in large environments. Some third-party tools extend the administration and management capabilities. They provide essential features for a more convenient administration process, such as automation, reports, integration with other services, etc.
